everest nepalese restaurant and bar in Oxford

Ordered butter chicken but it tasted like dessert than the curry, and chicken was mostly cut into bits mostly looked like minced chicken. Really it was waste of money as we ended up having only sauce for paying lot of money

One of the best Indian restaurants I’ve been to in town

I always enjoy the food from here. If I didn't live so far away they'd probably see me everyday 😂

This restaurant is the best. The food is always very good and, on top of that, they are very kind.

I used to walk past the Everest / Donnington Arms every day on my way to and from work around 5 years ago. On a couple of occasions, I'd pop in for a pint and a game of pool (yeah, I know a restaurant with a pool table. At a time when many establishments are removing their tables leaving fewer places for cue sports addicts like myself to indulge in our habit - it was such a blessing), but had never had a takeaway from the Everest, never sat down for a meal. With my birthday approaching and friends from far and near coming to help me celebrate it, one local recommended the Everest. It turned out to be the perfect choice. The momo were delicious, the Himalayan lamb beautifully tender and the atmosphere was fantastic (although I think we brought most of that). Incredibly reasonably priced. Shall definitely be back - soon!

Delicious food and delivered by a lovely delivery man.

Won’t suggest the restaurant to any one, the atmosphere and the service is one of the worst the attitude while serving and talking is really bad and the food was smelling.

Delivery took an hour 40 from point of order. Was cold.

Really good food, pretty decent prices and very nice portions

Great delivery and excellent service, such good food

Always order momos for takeaway from Everest Nepalese and their service is very hospitable! Even received a Christmas card from the team :)

We love the Everest. Great food, lovely people 🥰

Tried new dishes tonight. So good, what a treat.

Quality Nepalese food. I liked very much.

All microwaved junk and extremely poor quality meat. Dont even bother.

Ordered on Deliveroo. Naan was not authentic - was sweet and had coconut. Same the curry, despite a decent portion of prawns, the masala sauce was not authentic, had a huge and overpowering amount of sweetness and coconut bits - had to throw it away. By far the worst Indian/nepalese food I’ve eaten.

Very bad costumer service. They are behaving like we are not paying for the food .very arrogant , very bad food . Will not visit again.

Always great food and a quiet atmosphere- very relaxed.

We tried two new dishes today, both winners.

Good quality and variety of food delivered on time.

It's a perfect place for having south asain authentic food( they can customize the spice level for you), they also give student discounts sometime and lastly the ambience of the place is so homely and lovely.

Very bad behavior from staff, horrible customer service. Saying its our “responsibility” that a fly fell into my food, because we sat for “too long” eating food.

Bad dinner experience! Horrible food serving and pathetic customer service!!

The staff was very arrogant. The food was very bad.

Worst staff . Not apologetic for their behaviour. Very rude and inhumane people creating a worst experience for everyone.

Had a horrible experience at the restaurant today!!! Truly disappointed at their customer service and dishes. We were served with barely cooked vegetables curry, which seemed flavourless and to top it off the lamb curry was served with hygienic problems. The curry was served with a dead fly which completely ruined our appetite. The customer service was horrible. Apparently the waiter claimed we were the responsible ones for the fly experience. He was being rude and purely unprofessional with just focus on getting the full payment from us. I would never recommend this restaurant!!!

We have been to Everest since starting college here in Oxford. Have not faced anything bad until today, going for dinner in October 2023, we had a very horrible experience. The food was flavorless but on top of that, the vegetable curry was not properly cooked and found a fly in the non veg curry too. Upon reporting this to the staff, they blamed us for sitting for a long time and that is why flies fell into the food and that it is our responsibility!!!!! They only wanted money at the end even though we did not have half of the food. We were not happy or full with the little food we had, and they kept blaming us with horrible customer service.

So me and my friends had visited one evening to the restaurant. We ordered one veg gravy and one lamb curry. None of the vegetables were cooked and I informed the staff.he was very rude argued and explained the cooking process as if the customers got no knowledge. We also noticed a fly in the food and the staff told that it is our fault for letting the fly sit in the restaurant. They did not apologise for their behaviour and extremely arrogant and high headedness .most horrible experience. Will make sure none of my friends visit this place . PLEASE don't GO TO THIS PLACE

Delicious and unique dishes - lots of excellent vegetarian options.

Great food. Only fault is that I found the music rather distracting.

I normally give Everest 5☆ but I bought a lamb starter and the meat was chewy and fatty. Not the norm as it usually not the case.

Tasty food. The kebab was a tad salty. Great naan.

Always excellent from Everest Nepalese.

Excellent food and friendly service.

Everest are the best, hands down. X

My recent dining experience at this restaurant left me deeply disappointed. Despite informing the staff about my religious dietary restrictions, I was served a dish containing meat, which goes against my vegetarian beliefs. What truly added to my frustration was the lack of any apology or acknowledgement of their mistake. The service I received was far from satisfactory; the waiter's behavior was not only unhelpful but also surprisingly rude. When we approached them to rectify the incorrect order, their responses were dismissive and inadequate. This kind of customer service is not only disappointing but also disrespectful. I strongly caution anyone seeking a positive and considerate dining experience to avoid this establishment.

Lovely food as ever thanks guys

We went at 8pm on a Friday night. There were only 2 tables occupied (including us). The food was disgusting. No flavour at all. I would have raised this with the waiter, but he didn't come over to check anything at all. The beer on tap tasted like vinegar... go elsewhere. Don't waste your money.

Very tasty and fast delivery from the other side of the city! Thank you

Amazing food. Fast delivery. Very happy we picked this restaurant! Thank you

Always a pleasure. The food is delish and the people are lovely. We love being able to support such a great local restaurant

Ordered an early takeaway this evening (recommend you call them direct for a better price and service) and was so happy with the dinner :) The Himgiri Vegetables are delicious, and the mixed grill was very tasty. Big portion sizes with flavoursome sauces. Not too spicy.

Delicious food and they gave us free popadoms!

Lovely food and friendly service. Also some tasty vegetarian options and a seasonal menu in addition to the usual favourites. Recommended!

Lots of character in the food: tasty, unique and well made. A nice place to go for dinner too. They like it if you book in advance

I have ordered food here for my mother because she absolutely loves their food and raves about it. Don’t order with Deliveroo! Use another provider if you can. They refused to give us our wine or a refund. I wonder if they returned it to the restaurant

If you want to eat a horribel meal, this is the best place to order! By far, this was the worst Indian meal I've ever ate! Half of my meal was burned, the side salad was missing and on the menu was no hint, that "normal" or "traditional" naan bread is with coconut filling. Like it wasn't enough, the naan bread was disgusting! By the way, the staff wasn't very competent.

We ordered two meals. One of the dishes was ok, even though it didnt really contain the ingredients the menu said it should. The vegetarian dish was horrible, though. It only contained onions and paprika instead of all the vegetables listed, but everything was really really burned! The paprika and cheese were edible but extremely dry and half burned, the onions were little coal pieces at the bottom of the plate. Let's have some cancer for dinner! Thank you for that. Eating a lot of indian and nepalese I can confidently say that this was the worst nepalese/indian dish I ever had in my life.

I thought the curries were excellent!

Food item was missing ruined our whole evening meal.

The food was simply amazing! Top class service, the staff can't do enough for you. Highly recommend.

Food was great & enjoyed, will definitely order from here again!

The food was excellent but half the quantity other serve.

Love the Everest - been going here for decades.

Bad quality of momos! I ordered twice in hope of getting better next time but nope it’s worst

Amazing taste, really original. Decent portions and good price. It’s great for takeaway

Food was so good as it always is. Only complain. Didn’t receive the onion salad.

I'm a harsh critic, believe me, but the best meal I have this year, fresh, delicious, great price and service......bravo

Delighted. We asked for “asap” and the food came as soon as they could deliver. Excellent

Ordered meat samosas and got one vegetables and one meat. Meat samosa had a lot of gristle All other food tasted great

Great food and great service. Off the beaten track so it takes a little imagination to get there but it’s well worth a visit. Highly recommend for a delicious feast!

Delicious food! Myself and my family have eaten here a few times. The food and service have always been first class. It is a little off the beaten track but seek it out and soak up the relaxed atmosphere, the warm welcome of the staff and the delicious cuisine!

Usually a good meal from here but yesterday lunchtime overcharged by £5 even though queried price. My madras looked and tastied the same as the vindaloo except no potato. Both curry's thin watery oily sauce. Nam doughy. Sag paneer good though. Disappointing 😞

Great food, delivered on time, but the paper bag the restaurant provided is terrible. As soon as I grabbed the bag from its handles (and because it got humid with the food) the bag just broke, making a mess on the floor. They should simply use plastic bags, or better quality paper bags.

Amazing food, excellent service

Ordered through Uber Eats but they deliver themselves (additional 10% fee for this), food took an hour to come but it was a Friday night. Food was okay, smaller portions than we’d normally get from a takeaway. Ordered the meatballs but only got 3, which for the price felt unfair, they tasted great though just wish there were more. Chicken and lamb in the dishes was dry and the sauces were a little bland. Pilau rice was very nice. Garlic naan was a bit dry, needs some ghee on it.

Can very much recommend the himgiri vegetables!

Good food even late at night. Very spicy and tasty, I loved it. Service is good, location basic with some nepalese landscapes pictures.

Great food, average portions and lots of veggie/vegan choices

Very late delivery. When I asked for an update, the owner cut off the phone line.

Everything was absolutely delicious and came mush faster that expected considering the amount of food we ordered.

we've all heard of Everest the mountain, but more people need to hear about Everest the restaurant. This place puts the mountain to shame with it's fantastic flavours and tender momos. Everyone has seen the photos of the queue at the top of the mountain (very very busy!), you won't have that problem here as there's always a quiet and relaxed atmosphere to enjoy your dinner in. I loved this place so much that I went three times in a week, hope to do four in a week soon and set a new record. Amen xxxxx

I feel guilty I had no cash to tip the driver. He fulfilled a long shot request to bring a bottle opener for a beer I ordered because I was staying in a hotel and didn't have one. As always the food was amazing.

One of the best take away meals I have ever had. The taste was amazing, I can throughly recommend

Amazing food and service, couldn't fault it!

First time trying, definitely will be back for more, delicious!

very good meal, will be returning as throughly enjoyed. good value ans good service, didn’t feel rushed which is a refreshing change from other places in cowley.

Speedy, efficient and excellent

A hidden gem! Look beyond the shabby chic exterior and walk on in for amazing authentic Nepalese food, served with love. The only problem? There's a pub area next door with a top quality pool table in it. Didn't get much better as a place for all of the family!!!! Thank you Everest!!!!

We had the best veggie curries we’d had in a long time here and the service (on a weekday) was excellent !

Disappointed this time as my chicken tikka masala was lamb instead. Tasty sauces and everything else in the order was very good as usual.

Fantastic food, we have ordered from Everest at least eight times and every time the food is excellent. Highly recommend the honeymoon chicken!

Weird plastic containers that a impossible to open without a knife. Delivery driver didn't follow the instructions I left.

Huge menu with lots of choice including many vegetarian options. Food was really tasty and reasonably priced.

One of the best takeouts in East Oxford - the food is consistently excellent - really flavourful rich food, not flavourless oily nasty takeout- and good value. One of my top go-tot’s.

Delicious meal exactly on time. Loved the black-eyed bean & yam and the jackfruit dishes!

The best place in Oxford for authentic Indian curries. My go to place when it comes to a curry. Under rated curry house, however at times there is slow service but the wait is worth it.

Always excellent - recommendable without hesitation

The fish in the curry tasted rotten, the taste was different and not good The stuffed kulcha was only filled with saag and doesn't have any potato.

Extremely disappointed. I have ordered from this establishment 41 times, and I've bought the Makhamali Tikka Biryani 31 times. 30 of those times it has consisted of two tubs: one of rice and chicken, and the other of sauce and vegetables. Today, only the tub of rice and chicken turned up. I rang to say my order was incomplete and was told that the dish is now just the rice and chicken - no sauce and veg - because "people just left it". I've never collected my order, so they have no data on me! I am extremely disappointed that this dish, which now costs £11.95 (it cost £8.95 in Aug 21 and £10.95 in Sep 21, incidentally), is only half of what it used to be, and so I paid twice as much. It's not just "sauce" - it's vegetables too. And I really, really liked it. Despite my many years of custom, I will not be ordering from this restaurant again. Sorry.

Food was great and the service was excellent too. One of the items we ordered was missing, and when I called the restaurant to let them know, someone brought the missing item to our door within 15 min. Really appreciated, thanks again! Xx

As always the food was amazing top marks to the Everest Nepalese restaurant. I am looking forward to ordering more food from them in the future.

Food was excellent but delivery time disastrous. Called the restaurant and they confirmed pick up of the food in time. Don't know what the driver did with the food for so long. At least he was one of the few drivers actually ringing the door and not just calling and letting us wait outside.

Popadoms were soft, curry tasted like gravy 🤔and one of the rice containers had been squished open in the bag so it was all over the food.
